STP172 - I Was A Teenage Space Reporter - Getting Up Close To The Launch of Apollo 11 - with David Chudwin

This week we’re joined by David Chudwin, author of a wonderful book called “I Was A Teenage Space Reporter” – David was among the only college journalists accredited to cover the 1969 Apollo 11 launch and first landing on the Moon. At age 19, he was one of only a handful of teenagers with official press passes at the Kennedy Space Center for the launch. He gives us a wonderful insight to what it was like being at the launch of the most famous space mission of all time, Apollo 11.
